Jet grouting is a versatile ground improvement technique that has become increasingly popular in recent years. It involves the mechanical mixing of high velocity grout jets with native soil to form stiff cemented soil columns. When designed and executed properly, jet grouting provides exceptional improvements in strength, permeability, and soft ground stability. However, realization of…
Selecting the optimal grout for tile installations depends on the type of tile, joint width, and placement site. Unsanded grout offers unique advantages for wall tiles with narrow gaps by maximizing flexibility and adhesion once cured. Its smooth, easily spreadable premixed consistency contrasts with gritty sanded grout used on floors. But without sand or aggregate…
Grouting is an important process in civil engineering construction that involves injecting a fluid material into spaces to fill them. When constructing or remodeling tile surfaces, the color of grout chosen can make a significant visual impact. Black grouting has become an increasingly popular option due to its attractive, modern appearance. However, it presents some…
Jet grouting is an innovative geotechnical construction technique allowing targeted ground improvement and foundation formation. The method involves using a specialized jet grouting plant with a high-powered drill that erodes and mixes soil with a customized cementitious grout pumped at extremely high pressures. A jet grouting plant is a key piece of equipment used in…
Jet grouting is a ground improvement technique that involves eroding the soil with a high-velocity fluid jet and mixing it with a grout slurry to form columns or panels of soilcrete (soil-cement). The jet grouting process strengthens and waterproofs the soil, enabling construction on weak or unstable ground. There are several advantages to using jet…
Both pressure grouting and compaction grouting involve injecting cementitious grout to stabilize areas or fill voids underground . Pressure grouting uses a fluid, low-viscosity grout that can permeate through pores in permeable soils. The curing grout binds particles together. Compaction grouting utilizes a thick, mortar-like grout injected at high pressures to laterally displace and compact…
